Would be ok except for battery life.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

The battery life is about what you would expect from any other laptop. That is unless you purchase and extended life battery.

Not sure about battery life only as alarm but it's easy once I figure it out. The instructions are not great you have to play with it a little to get the hang of it.

Yes...however you would have very limited use before battery had to be recharged.

The battery life is barely better than the one I was replacing. I haven't tried to replace it because I was afraid I wouldn't get another one that was just as bad.

Overall the battery life is good. For a heavy user like me it lasts for 2.5 to 3.5hrs. its good. the only drawback is it has a inbuilt battery. which means its not user replaceable.

The charge won't hold for extended use, but it will work. Volume should be loud enough I think.

I wouldn't. I heard something about battery life shortened if you don't let it go down and sometimes avoid bringing it back to 100 percent.

I really think the battery is ok, i have bought two of this laptop and if you are using it continuosly the battery life is approx 10hrs.

The battery lasted about as long as most. I bought a back up, so I never worried.

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

It all has to do with preserving battery life would be my thought. More power to you!

Yes, however; the battery life is not nearly as long-lasting as the parent unit.

nope, mine was correct. However battery performance is only Ok not the greatest.

No, but battery life is limited to around 3-4 hours with screen at full brightness.

I believe if is plugged into a battery port that works without a key then it would eat up your battery. But 12 hours would make everything KOOL
